Thanks to the lazy snake Lao Kai for the reward!

[347] Take a step back and open the sky, and further infinitely dangerous peaks

Major General Dean, commander of the 24th U.S. Division, leaned on the passenger seat of the bumpy truck, the window was open, and the smell of rotten earth, manure, straw, burning houses, and empty bullet casings poured in with the early summer wind. The smell of this mixed third shijie smelled in Major General Dean's nose, and now he felt deeply unbearable and bored.

At this time, the road to Daegu had been blocked by the US 24th Division and the South Korean rout, and with the desperate resistance of the 18th Detachment of the North Korean First Army, it was very difficult to move forward.

Seeing that the sun was already in the sky, but the truck was blocked motionless, General Dean and his entourage jumped out of the car, Dean asked anxiously: "What's the matter, hasn't the road to the south been opened yet?" ”

Lieutenant Porter, the intelligence staff officer who had rushed back from the front, had a muddy and tired look on his face, and obviously had not rested since yesterday morning, and he reported in that dry and weak voice: "General, the road is completely blocked, the Yankees have set up blocking positions on several high ground near the Fengyanli Panshan Road, and now the mountain road is full of burning trucks, and the road has been completely blocked. The surviving soldiers of the 19th Regiment who retreated to Daqiu are now not taking the road at all, but are all going over the mountains, intending to bypass the positions of the Yankees and make a detour from the mountains to the rear of the road and return to Daqiu. ”

Dean looked bitter and asked, "What about Syngman Rhee?" Have you contacted the South Korean General Command? ”

As soon as Lieutenant Potter heard Rhee's name, he immediately became excited: "This son of a bitch's bastard!" I heard from a South Korean officer that he fled to Daegu on board the plane of the 63rd Transport Group of the Eighth Army yesterday morning just after the start of the fighting. All the South Korean officers wanted to run away when they heard the news, and since last night, the South Korean army has been fleeing in formation! A lot of trenches were empty all at once after dark! How could we American soldiers hold such a long line of defense with only us! How is it possible to hold Daejeon! ”

General Dean desperately suppressed the anger in his chest, and tried his best to calmly order the officers around him who were scolding: "Let's go, let's also walk, everyone immediately check the weapons and ammunition, and bring food and water." We marched along the road, saw the position of the North Yankees, went east into the mountains, and then went back to the road from behind. ”

"Yes, General!" The officers had the backbone of the main heart and shouted their orders.

This is where history finally begins to skew.

Major General Dean, who originally insisted on fighting until the moment of Zuihou and commanded the U.S. troops to carry out anti-tank operations against the North Korean tanks that rushed into Daejeon Fortress, saw that the general trend had gone, fled with the rebel army, and was finally captured.

Major General Dean chose to retreat, which is beyond reproach. When the chain of command was paralyzed and the defensive line was breached, the commander should have ordered the transfer in order to protect the important general headquarters.

On the contrary, in history, Major General Dean, who had just been in office for 20 days, did not know whether he was stubborn or could not erase his face, so he insisted on starting a street battle in Daejeon, holding out for five or six more hours, missing the time window for escaping, and Zuihou led to his own capture. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the headquarters of the US 24th Division lost contact with its subordinate units in history and mistakenly believed that the Daejeon Defense Line was still in its own hands. When it was finally determined that the division headquarters had been surrounded, it was too late to run, so he had to fight to the death.

The Battle of Daejeon lasted one day and one night from the beginning of the battle to the breakthrough of the defense line and the breakthrough into Daejeon Castle, which is basically consistent with history.

After the war, Comrade Kim Il Sung enthusiastically issued an order to continue the attack.

When inspecting the list of meritorious personnel in combat, Comrade Kim Il-sung, commander-in-chief, said to Cui Yongjian, deputy commander-in-chief beside him: "Look at it, sure enough, it is our comrades of the old Anti-Japanese Federation who are the most capable of fighting!" In March 1946, according to the "Provisional Plan for the Establishment of the Korean Volunteer Army" issued by the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, these more than 2,000 backbone officers and backbone elements who returned to China have performed very well so far! ”

Cui Yongjian bowed his head and said: "Li Quanwu, Park Yiyu, Jin Xiong and others, all of them can fight!" It is worthy of being an old comrade who has fought with Japanese devils in the bloody storm of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation! Our People's Army has so many outstanding generals, and it will not be a problem at all to accomplish national reunification, and in the face of these battle-hardened veterans, Syngman Rhee's bandit army is not worth mentioning at all! ”

After that, Deputy Commander Cui Yongjian said solemnly: "Right now, our henchmen are in great trouble with the multinational forces led by the United States!" According to the information sent back by the underground party in the south, the 1st Cavalry Division and the 25th Division of the US Army have begun to move north one after another, and the vanguard of the 2nd and 1st Marine Divisions of the US Army has also arrived in Busan! In addition, once the 24th Division that fled south this time is reorganized, the US army will form the scale of five main divisions in the south! You can yujian, the next battle will be more difficult to fight than the other. ”

At this time, Comrade Kim Il Sung, who was proud of the spring breeze, smiled and said: "What is the main American division, I think it is only a little stronger than the South Korean Syngman Rhee bandit army, you see that this 24th division has not won a single battle since it fought with us!" They lost troops all the way, and they withdrew all the way after a fight, and we made dumplings in this Daejeon Campaign, and those who escaped, I don't see that they are only 30% of the troops, and in a short time, it is absolutely impossible to have the ability to fight again. ”

The more Kim Il Cheng spoke, the more excited he became, and continued: "Next, we will continue to annihilate the enemy in this way, defeat all the US army divisions one by one, and let the whole Shijie know the combat effectiveness of the Korean People's Army!" ”

Lieutenant General Walker, commander of the U.S. Eighth Army, got on the plane with a dead face, and with the loss of Daejeon, it was pointless for him to continue to stay in Daegu, and he had to rush back to Pusan immediately to carry out a complete redeployment of the next direction of the war.

After the plane took off, Lieutenant General Walker began to dictate his next deployment to the staff officers around him.

"There is no doubt that the fall of Daejeon is bad news. However, this also means that we can free up our hands and go all out to build the Busan defensive circle, and with the current state of our troops, it is completely possible to deploy the Busan defensive circle along the Nakdong River in a thorough and unmistakable manner, and we can form a divisional and regimental offensive channel locally...... In the previous battle, due to the absolute disadvantage of our army's strength! (South Korea's armed forces cannot be called a modern army at all!) That's a rabble! In the face of a defense line of tens of kilometers, our army can only blindly carry out defensive operations, which leads to the complete burial of our offensive capability, and our mechanized corps is precisely the best at offensive mobile operations! …… In modern warfare, the offensive width of a division has been shortened from a dozen kilometers in the middle of World War II to one or two kilometers in the latter part of World War II...... The previous 24 divisions, even one of which had a regiment, had to take on the defense line of more than ten kilometers, and in this case, the offensive could only be empty talk...... The construction and formation of a small but sturdy Busan defensive ring will give us the opportunity to conduct an offensive defense for the first time in this war, so as to achieve the strategic goal of turning the war into a stalemate stage, and finally complete operational preparations for the formation of a comprehensive counterattack. ”

When Xiaoqiang woke up from his hangover, it was 9 o'clock in the morning of the 19th, and he had slept for twelve hours.

Meng Sisi took two days of marriage leave, and when he saw Xiaoqiang getting up, he hurriedly poured him face washwater.

Xiaoqiang put on his pants and stood in front of the basin stand, and when he saw his face in the mirror was obviously swollen, he couldn't help but sigh: "I will never drink so much wine next time." ”

Meng Sisi took out a bowl of hot millet porridge from the casserole, and said: "I see that you are not so determined, the next time someone else makes a mess, you will be drunk again." ”

Xiaoqiang was weak and didn't dare to reply, so he quickly sat down and drank porridge.

After drinking the porridge, Xiaoqiang got up and looked for the briefcase.

"Do what?" Meng Sisi asked.

"Go to work." Xiao Qiangdao.

Meng Sisi had to take out the briefcase in the cabinet and give it to him.

Xiaoqiang took the briefcase, lightly incense it on Meng Sisi's cheek, went out and got into the car that Liu Zhen had been guarding at the door, and went straight to Zhongnanhai.

If he didn't know the nature of Xiaoqiang's work in the past, Meng Sisi would definitely want to lie to Xiaoqiang and ask Xiaoqiang to go back in the afternoon, but after yesterday's sensational wedding in Beijing, Meng Sisi understood the importance of Xiaoqiang's work.

As soon as Xiao Qiang arrived at the office, he received a phone call asking him to go to the Military Staff Department of the Government Council of the East Fourth Institute.

When he arrived at the military staff headquarters of the East Fourth Institute, as soon as Xiao Qiang entered the door, he saw the prime minister talking with the military staff of the prime minister of the Government Council over the war report on the Korean Peninsula.

Xiaoqiang stepped forward and interrupted: "The prime minister is looking for me? ”

The prime minister nodded and said: "Xiaoqiang, you are here, the North Korean side has just sent Daejeon war report to the Soviet Union and our country, and everything is going well." ”

Xiaoqiang waited for the prime minister to continue.

The prime minister continued: "Next, the landing at Inchon that we expect is likely to happen, and I have called you here to introduce you to this comrade, his name is Lei Yingfu. ”

Xiaoqiang was taken aback, is this young man in front of him Lei Yingfu? History accurately judged the U.S. Army landing at Incheon?

The prime minister said: "I have instructed Comrade Rei Young-fu to write a combat book on the possibility of landing at Inchon from the perspective of the US military. After writing it, we handed over this feasibility study report on the Inchon operation to the Korean comrades. ”

Comrade Lei Yingfu said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's idea is really fanciful, but it is reasonable and reasonable, which is really admirable!" Before the Daejeon operation, the prime minister asked me to write this combat jihua, and I could not have imagined that the situation would really develop to the current stage so quickly according to our expectations! ”
